We’re excited to introduce extended functionality to serve over-the-counter customers in your pharmacy. The LinkHMS team is dedicated to continually improving the system with new features and refining existing ones. Pharmacies can now handle non-prescription sales, generate instant invoices, and keep stock levels up-to-date—all within the HMS system.
LinkHMS features this dynamic capability to accommodate a range of non-prescription pharmacy orders. From now on, it will be possible to cover cases such as over-the-counter sales, emergency supplies, internal use, or retail product transactions.
The good thing is that it’s added with simplicity in mind and aligns with existing pharmacy workflows. Pharmacists can quickly adopt this new feature, as it’s integrated with their daily operations. The added + New Invoice button enables them to complete non-prescription sales in just a few clicks while keeping all records accurate and up-to-date.
Your pharmacists can create order invoices for both walk-in customers and existing patients. Whether it’s a one-time purchase or part of an ongoing care plan, every sale is recorded and reflected in the system. If you handle orders for existing patients, they are linked to their profiles for better tracking of product usage, treatment plans, and purchase history. At the same time, the process for over-the-counter customers is also quick and doesn’t require prior registration, as details can be easily filled out during the actual purchase.
The non-prescription order invoice can be created for multiple items, so pharmacists will efficiently process several products in a single invoice record. This flexibility allows them to adjust the sale on the spot. Pharmacists only need to add the required item, specify the exact quantity, and even remove some items based on current patient requests, stock availability, or changes in purchasing decisions. They can view real-time stock levels and availability before completing the invoice. Additionally, any changes to inventory are automatically updated to maintain consistent stock levels across the entire system.

Managing non-prescription invoices is no different from handling prescription orders. It’s beneficial for pharmacists to follow a familiar workflow to manage non-prescription buyers. LinkHMS organizes pharmacy operations for all types of invoices, so there’s no need to learn a new process or switch between modules. The unified approach helps staff avoid confusion, and staff stay efficient in handling medicine invoicing in one place.
LinkHMS supports color-coded statuses and customizable filters to help you quickly identify and change invoice payment statuses.
The newly added pharmacy functionality focuses on integrating over-the-counter sales into the existing clinic workflows. Your pharmacy can enable fast and accurate invoicing without requiring changes to the existing pharmacist’s tasks while adding exceptional operational value.
